.SH NAME
wansim \- init.d script that establishes an emulated WAN connection.
.SH "SYNTAX"

.B wansim
.SH DESCRIPTION
WANsim provides a simple, inline bridge that allows you to emulate a 
WAN connection. Simply ensure that your Linux box has 2 NICs and place 
it between your "local" and "remote" locations. WANsim allows you to 
change the WAN speed (in kbit/s) and the latency (in ms) of the data 
passing over the emulated WAN connection. WANsim will also allow you 
to introduce errors (such as packet corruption, loss and duplication).

If you require specific settings for your interfaces, consider creating
the interfaces.conf file and populating it. WANsim will detect the file
and use it to configure your interfaces. A template is provided that
you can customise.

If you are experiencing issues related to performance not matching what
you expect, make sure GRO is "off" in the interfaces.conf file for each
of your interfaces.
